Regulatory Loop Holes

Thailand is by far not the only country to have dropped the ball in terms of developing full and appropriate online casino gambling regulations. The Thai government does have some land and internet gambling policies in place regarding blocks to sports betting. Although the Thai officials do not have the regulatory infrastructure to fully block the offshore online casinos and betting sites, Thai authorities have announced the launch of several centers that are specifically designed to combat an land and internet betting activity. The likelihood of both land and internet bets are at an extreme high right now because of the FIFA World Cup madness that has descended on the world of sports and the Thai government is hoping that these new efforts and centers will limit the amount of access.

One of the centers in question was already developed by the start of the World Cup games in South Africa and the Thai government plans to monitor all potential land and online casino betting activity around the clock from this center. Thailand is one of those countries that is a bit late to the program – the country has not updated its gambling laws in over 70 years. That means that although the online casinos are technically illegal in Thailand right now, and getting caught carries up to a year in prison, the laws concerning this industry were develop more than four decades before the internet was even an inkling of a medium.

Thai gamblers consistently use online casinos licensed out of nearby Asian countries for their betting and chance gaming needs, so although the government keen to stop internet gambling through these new centers, the likelihood of these making much of a difference is low considering the ingrained nature of internet betting in the country already.
